Content
This class aims at providing students with a first set of interpreting skills from French into Dutch.
The objectives of this class aim at the following learning skills:
- deliver correctly in Dutch the message originally expressed in language A;
- update Dutch linguistic proficiency;
- employ analytical methods to distinguish essential from non-essential content in an oral presentation;
- develop the ability to find the degree of detachment that makes possible an in 'depth analysis of an oral presentation;
- communicate in a way that creates a feeling of trust with the audience ;
- demonstrate flexibility and mental acuity in adapting without hesitation to novel communicative situations.
This TU focuses mainly on 1) listening skills and analysis: how is the speech organized? What is the structure of the text? What is the core message? What is the purpose of the speech? 2) conveying the message as precisely as possible (with all due respect to shades of meaning) in a natural an fluent Dutch.
Students will work on various topics and fields, various accents and registers. They will also be given the opportunity to improve their lexical, syntactic and phraseological skills of Dutch.
